"Saving" part of a smoothie for later

Has anyone done this yet? I made one of the smoothie recipes and had half left over. I put it in the fridge for a day. The next day I was going to drink it, but it looked so gross and unappetizing. Should I put it in the freezer instead? The next smoothie I made, I tried to cut in half so it only made one serving. That came out okay. I've also found some of the recipes make only one serving, but they are the ones with light ice cream as an ingredient, so they have a few more calories than the other ones. This is all based on the recipes in the Abs Diet for Women book.

I don't think that uless you want a smoothie popsicle (not a bad idea) that it will be any better if you stick it in the freezer. I never had any luck saving smoothies for later. My husband tried it a few times (he is a slow learner, lol, not really but with cooking and food he is) and it never was good even a couple hours later. It just separates and looks unappetizing, especially if you put bananas in it because they oxidize and get all brown.

Just do what you've been doing, making just enough for 1 serving. That is your best option.

Love the food that loves you back.Take it one day at a time!-----------------------------------------

What I have found works best for me is to make a smoothie early in the day - say for breakfast or for a snack. I refrigerate the remaining 8oz in a glass with a cover and drink later the same day for a second snack or for the final meal of the day. No leftovers to worry about!

I've saved half for later, I just make sure to put it in a sealed container, that way it won't get brown and ugly. Also, if you put a little lemon juice in the smoothie, it won't turn brown. It doesn't add any calories either!

I have not tried it, but maybe you could freeze it and then blend it again when you are ready to drink it. Otherwise you could stuck with halfing your receipe. During the summer, frozen could be pretty refreshing!

Hey there,My solution is the Magic Bullet. I have one and I absolutely love it. Its nice because it is like a single serving smoothie. I love it I use it at least twice a day, and the cups are super durable. If you are busy and always on the go its great because you can just blend and go. Might be worth it.

Not too far out for me, although I had to put that I was sedentary to get it right. It came out at 1400, and I would lose weight very slowly at that, but am mostly trying to do about 90% of RDI to lose ...

Yes Steel cut oats. They take longer to cook but are so worth it! Add a tablespoon of peanut butter and some berries for a protein boost and great flavour. You can also add a table spoon of maple syrup ...
